GeoBasemap

  1. Overview


    GeoBasemap subsystem is an effective application for displaying the projection location of survey data in the geodetic coordinate system, which enables the user to visually analyze the data. It’s an essential component of project management. After a project is created and data are loaded, users can select, display, edit, or calculate the data in this subsystem. It works like a bridge to communicate with other subsystems of seismic data processing and interpretation(2D/3D).


  2. Key Features of GeoBasemap

    1. The GeoBasemap subsystem displays data needed in seismic data processing and seismic interpretation, including the following layer data:

      • Seismic survey grid data

      • Well location data

      • Traverse trace data

      • Horizon data

      • Fault data

      • Fault polygon data

      • Grid data

      • Contour data

      • 2D intersection misties data

      • Scatter data

      • Fan sector data

      • Along-horizon attribute data

      • Boundary data

      • Trap data

      • Velocity spectrums data

      • Sample data

      • Slice data

      • Fracture data

      • Azimuthal data

      • Gravities data

      • Magnetics data

      • Electromagnetics data

      • Terrains data


    2. The layers displayed in the basemap have the following common functions: display proportion control, basemap redrawing, zooming in/out and restoring,

      etc.

    3. The basemap can be used to perform interactive operations: select seismic line, generate traverse, set well set, create fault polygons, delete interpretation horizon and calculate intersection misties, area, and distance, etc.

    The following workflow of basemap functions is listed for reference:

  3. Start-up

    1. Preparations


      In order to operate based on the project, GeoBasemap requires an existing project with necessary data such as surveys, lines and wells, etc. to be displayed by the basemap.

    2. Starting the Subsystem


      Use the system command of Geoeast to start the main console. Select Structural Interpretation or Reservoir Prediction from the main console, and click Basemap to start GeoBasemap,


      According to the data we selected, there will be different contents shown on

      GeoBasemap.

      1. When we select the project node and it is the first time to start GeoBasemap, all the surveys will be displayed; but if it’s not the first time, then restore the previous view.

      2. When we select a survey data from the main console, the GeoBasemap will be started displaying the data of this survey.


  4. Main Window

    This section will introduce the organization mode, arrangement, menubar, toolbar, Data Explorer Tree, colormap, and status bar of the Basemap Main Window.


    1. General Description

      Starting GeoBasemap subsystem displays its main window, shown in Figure 4-1:



      Figure4-1


      Users can freely drag, select, and arrange the locations of the six constituent areas labeled in Figure 4-1:

      • Menubar

      • Toolbar

      • Display Window

      • Colormap

      • Data Explorer Tree

      • Status bar

    2. Menubar

      The menubar, at the top of the Basemap Main Window, consists of menu items and their pulldown menus, as shown in Figure 4-2:


      Figure 4-2


    3. Toolbar

      The toolbar, initially located below the menubar, contains buttons for frequently used functions and is divided by vertical lines into three parts: file operation, graphic zoom control, and data selection. Users can customize the toolbar according to their own needs.


    4. Data Explorer Tree

      The Data Explorer Tree is on the left side of the Basemap Main Window, listing all basemap data in tree form. The tree has the same look and feel as the Windows Explorer. Each type of data is organized into folders and sub-folders as required, and the layers of each date type is put in these folders or sub-folders. We call each item in the Data Explorer Tree, both data type and layer, a Node. Basemap data types include wells, traverses, fault polygons, faults, horizons, survey grids, sample, strata attributes, scatters, grids, contours, misties, fan sector, boundaries, velocity spectrum, gravities, magnetics, electromagnetics, terrains, trap, slice, fracture, and azimuthal fracture, all of which are listed under the tab Layer (Figure 4-4). The extended information for all data types is listed under the Ex(Extend) heading on the right side of the tab Layer. 3D or 2D information is listed behind the survey. For example, if ‘3’ is shown on the right side of a survey name, that means this survey is a 3D survey.


      Most basemap functions can be managed on the Data Explorer Tree. Users can select the data to be displayed in the basemap, arrange the data display order, define the data display attribute, and activate the current layer.


    5. Colormap

      The 256-color colormap, initially on the right side of the Basemap Main Window, allows users to define a relationship between colors and data values. Adjusting the correspondence between color and data value can facilitate data analysis. The system has default colormaps, but users can create custom colormaps to suit

      preferences or data distribution needs.


      The layers using colormap in basemap include horizons, grids, contours, misties, scatters and attributes, slice, sample, fracture, azimuthal fracture.

      1. Color Adjusting Tool

        Display the colormap bar in the Basemap Main Window. Select View → Views→ Colormap Bar in the Basemap Main Window to display colormap on the right side of the canvas. The Colormap Bar has a toggle button. The colormap will not be displayed when the toggle is swithed off.

        All colored layers displayed in the basemap canvas have separate colormap information. The value range of the currently activated layer is displayed in the colormap on the right of the canvas. When the activated layer changes, the corresponding colormap will change accordingly.

      2. Setting Colormap Range

        A ColormapModeGlobe flag is available on each parameter interface of the data that uses colormap.

        The colormap range is set as follows:

        1Display of single layer

        When a single layer is displayed, the range of colormap is the value range of the data whether the ColormapModeGlobe flag on the parameter interface is selected or not.

        When a single layer of colormap used in the basemap is displayed, the colormap range is spread between the maximum and minimum values of the displayed layers. The colors of the layer will correspond to the color structure of the colormap.


        2Display of multiple layers

        When multiple layers of colormap used in the basemap are displayed:

        The Globe range of colormap is the union set of value ranges of all color layers. The color parameter, value range, color spectrum saved by the activated layer are displayed in the colormap on the right of the canvas.

        If the activated color layer mode ColormapModeGlobe is selected, the range of colormap is the Globe range or the value range of the current activated layer.

        If the activated layer is not a color layer, the colormap range is spread between 0~100.

      3. Changing Color Chip of Colormap

        After the color chip or range of colormap is modified by double-clicking on

        colormap in the popped-up colormap setting dialog, the basemap will update and activate the color of the layer based on the updated colormap.


    6. Status bar

      The status bar, at the bottom of the Basemap Main Window, shows the current work status, the function of the icon at which the mouse is located, layer information (such as activated layer name), geodetic coordinate, line/trace number (name), etc.


  5. Data Explorer Tree Operation Instructions

    Data organization, data type classification, display function, and display management of the Data Explorer Tree are introduced in this section.


    1. Data Type and Attribute

      Data that can be independently displayed in the Basemap Main Window belong to one of the following data types, detailed below.

      1. Well data

        Well data describe the well location, bottom hole location (deviated well), well trajectory (deviated well), and well top information. The display of well, bottom hole, and well trajectory is determined by the geodetic coordinates of the well. The display mode of the well and bottom hole is a point. The well trajectory is composed of projection lines on the base plane. The well top is composed of the geodetic coordinates and its attribute label.

        2 Traverse trace

        A traverse describes the location of any vertical section on the plane. The traverse can be formed in a single survey, multi-survey, or combined survey.

        1. Fault polygon

          A fault polygon on the basemap is the projection on the horizontal datum of the intersection of fault and horizon and might be upthrow and/or downthrow fault polygons. Fault polygons can be formed in multi-surveys or combined surveys.

        2. Fault data

          The plane location and fault point location of the fault segment can be displayed on the basemap.

        3. Seismic horizon

          Seismic horizon data, obtained from seismic section interpretation, are expressed by the line/trace locations and time/depth values. Horizon data reflect the structure of the interface in the survey area and can be interpolated to get the grid data of the horizon.

        4. Survey grid data

          Survey grid data, in (x, y) coordinates, define the plane locations of seismic lines. Surveys are divided into 2D and 3D survey grids.

        5. Surface attribute data

          Seismic attribute data are generated by the attribute analysis subsystem.

        6. Scatter data

          Scatter is defined by the plane location (x, y) and attributes values of the grid point. Scatter data can be displayed in scatter mode or in contour mode.

        7. Grid Data

          Grid data are obtained by interpolating control point data and are defined by the plane location (x, y) and an attribute value of the grid point.

        8. Contour

          Data variability can be expressed by contours. Contours can be either opened or closed, which is defined by the plane position and attribute values of the lines.

        9. Fan sector data

          Fan sector data display.

        10. Misties data

          Display horizon mistie data.

        11. Boundary data

          Display the boundary data generated by the mapping subsystem.

        12. Trap data

          Trap data is generated by the Geomapping subsystem based on the contour.

        13. Velocity Spectrums

        Stack velocity Spectrums.

        1. Gravity data

          Including scatter data and grid data of gravity data.

        2. Magnetic data

          Including scatter data and grid data of magnetic data.

        3. Electromagnetic data

          Including scatter data of electromagnet data.

        4. Terrain data

        Including scatter data and grid data of terrain data.

        1. Slice data

          Display slice data.

        2. Specimens data

          Display specimens data.

        3. Fractures data

          Display fractures data.

        4. Azimuthal Fractures data

          Display azimuthal fractures data.

        5. Images

        Display images.


        The data type determines its display style on the basemap, but detailed descriptions of data components are defined by data attributes. The Data Explorer Tree addresses the attributes (display parameters) of the above data types separately.

    2. Structure and Functions of the Data Explorer Tree

      The Data Explorer Tree (Figure 5.2-1) expresses data display relationships, lists display data and controls layer display and display order. The Data Explorer Tree consists of a layer list and extended information about the layers.


      The Layer consists of the following 2 levels: Data Type

      All data types are listed under the default mode There is a checkbox “□“ ahead of the data type, which is used to control whether display the layers belongs to this data type or not. Mark √ in the box represents current layer will be displayed, Click on □ to switch between the selected status and unselected status.

      Layer

      Each specific display data is a layer, except for well layers. All Well data are grouped into one layer. Layers are not initially displayed on the Data Explorer Tree after basemap is started - users can select the layers to be displayed by selecting Layer Display from the Layers menu. Display layers are listed under their corresponding data types with checkbox display switches. Layers are arranged on the data tree in the same display order as the Display Window from the top layer to the bottom layer. Users can adjust the display order of the layers through layer display.

      Ex(Extend)

      The Extend column lists the extended information of the data, for example, 3 is listed after surveys indicating that it is a 3D survey, and the survey name is listed after the horizon.

    3. The Blank Area of the Data Explorer Tree

      The right-click menus related to data types and layer data are set on the Data Explorer Tree. Through these menus, the layer to be displayed can be selected, the current layer can be activated, the display order of the layer can be set, and

      the display parameters of layer properties can be set. The right-click menu related to the Data Explorer Tree can be divided into three types: the blank right-click menu, the data type right-click menu and the layer right-click menu.

      Right-click at the blank area of the Data Explorer Tree and the menu as shown in Figure 5.3-1 will pop up.


      Figure 5.3-1


      1. Layer Display

        When selecting Layer Display, a dialog as shown in Figure 5.3-2 will pop up .

      1. Multiple Attributes Fusion

        Multiple attributes fusion display means to select two or more seismic attribute data, and fuse their corresponding values according to a certain calculation rule to form a new color map, which is used to highlight the geological meanings of seismic attributes and then facilitate interpreters to analyze.


        There are three fusion display modes:

        1. Tri-attribute RGB Fusion display mode

          Based on seismic attribute analysis, select three seismic attributes (specifically, three single-frequency amplitude attributes) which don't overlap each other. After attributes normalization, each attribute respectively corresponds to the color of red, green, and blue, then fuse them in the mode of RGB to form a new color map. Such 3-attribute RGB color fusion enables the user to obtain more geological information.

        2. Bi-attribute 2D colormap fusion display mode

          Select two data that respectively correspond to the X-axis and Y-axis of 2D colormap, fuse these two attribute data with 2D colormap to enhance the visual effect and interpretability of seismic data, and improve the interpretation precision.

        3. Multiple attributes color ratio fusion display mode

        Select multiple attribute data volumes (4 at most), each of which corresponds to a colormap, fuse each attribute data with its colorbar at a certain ratio to generate a colorbar for every point. The sum of attribute ratios shall be equal to 1. This mode facilitates the contrast analysis of multiple attributes.

        1. RGB Color Parameter Adjustment

          Figure 5.16-3 is the color parameter dialog for RGB display mode, where you can adjust the data range of each attribute.


          Figure 5.16-3

          Where:

          Data following DataR, DataG, and DataB are the seismic data assigned to each of three color components respectively. Each color chart represents the value range of each color component and data. Double clicking on any color chart will pop up the colormap configuration dialog for adjusting the maximum and minimum values of colormap. The procedure is identical to that of the normal section colormap. Refer to the user’s manual of GeoColormap. In this dialog, the user is only able to adjust the data range of the red component. Thus, the Select and Save buttons are grayed out. to adjust the data ranges of DataG and DataB, double click on the green chart and blue chart.

        2. 2D Colormap Parameter Adjustment

        What is shown in Figure 5.16-4 is the color parameter dialog for the 2D Colormap display mode.

        Figure 5.16-4

        Where:

        The colors in the X-axis direction of 2D colormap are determined jointly by colors at the upper left corner (e.g. red as shown in the figure) and at the upper right (e.g. blue as shown in the figure) and white (unadjustable) in the middle of the color chart. Y-axis represents changes in color brightness (each color block is black at the bottom). Right-click on the left and right regions of the colormap to pop up the color selection menu for setting the colors at the upper left corner and upper right corner respectively. See Figure 5.16-5.


        Figure 5.16-5


        Color Block Data Cartogram:

        At the top of and on the right side of the dialog respectively show X-axis and Y- axis color block data cartograms. These cartograms indicate distribution sample points corresponding to each color block. When the range, color number, and value- color mapping are changed, the cartogram will make a statistical analysis again. The

        color of the cartogram can be changed by clicking on the Statistics color button.

        Color Number Setting:

        The number of colors of the X-axis and Y-axis colormaps may be set by using "X color num" and "Y color num" dropdown lists or by manually entering. (Note: only odd numbers are valid).


        Label Precision Setting for the Color Stick:

        If the label precision is not set, the system will automatically calculate data precision (keeping decimal digit after the decimal point); in addition, it will displayed data in scientific notation when data is very large. If the label precision is set, all color sticks associated with the colormap will be displayed in the user-set precision. Setting method: select the Precision check box and then click the triangles or directly input a numeral value.

        Set Data Value Range:

        The user inputs the data range in “Interest Range” and sets the range corresponding with the colormap by clicking the Set button. The data within the data range will correspond with the corresponding color in the colormap. Stipulation: when the value of the data is less than the minimum in the range, the first color is gotten; when the value of the data is larger than the maximum in the range, the last color is gotten.

        Click the Reset button to restore the initially set data range (the initial range is the maximum and minimum values of the current section of selected data).

        The range can also be adjusted by dragging the mouse below the color stick, as shown in Figure 5.16-6.

        1Drag the mouse below the color stick to adjust the numerical value in the range edit box;

        2Click on Set to validate the newly set range. Display the section as per the newly set range.

        Parallel Parallel connection display. In this mode, the LCD shows the ratio respectively, and the total ratio is the sum of each ratio. It will be normalized automatically when the sum is bigger than 100 and show the adjusting result simultaneously.

        Series Series connection display. In this mode, the LCD shows the accumulated ratio value, and once a ratio is adjusted, the other ratios will be adjusted automatically according to the logical computation in real-time.

        Data Proportion Adjustment Zone

        The interface provides a row colormap and a functional area for proportion adjustment for each selected data. Each functional area includes data name display (use "..." when the data name is too long. The full data name will be shown after the mouse is stopping 2 seconds or more). The colormap is displayed and modified. The proportion is displayed by LCD and adjusted by pull rod.

        Note: There is a ratio slider for each selected data. Double click on any colormap, a color adjustment dialog pops up to adjust the colors. The LCD shows the ratio value in green when the sum of the ratio of each data is 100. Otherwise, it’s cyan when the sum is bigger than 100, or dark red when smaller than 100.

        Exit Exit traverse edit mode.


        Next, the traverse picking methods mentioned above would be described in detail.


        1. Free traverse

          Once free traverse picking is selected, freewill multi-segment would be picked.


          The regular rules for picking are left-clicked for picking, middle-click for cancel, right-click for context menu and double-click to end picking. After a traverse is finished, the new traverse would be ready to be picked automatically.

          We can pick a traverse under the 2D survey /3D survey/ combined survey. In the process of picking, any segment has to be limited to a single survey. If the traverse has to cross surveys, users could apply “M” to adjust the survey order. The survey must be the topmost layer in the stacked display area in a combined survey. If the picking action is transferred from the 3D survey to the 2D survey, end the 3D survey traverse segment and begin

          picking in the 2D survey; and if the picking action is transferred from the 2D survey to the 3D survey, end the 2D survey traverse segment and begin next picking in the 3D survey.


          1. Pick traverse under 3D survey.

            If the cursor moves by the line, the line would be highlighted in the defined color. Users could finish the following operations by mouse:


            Left click Left-click in the Display Window would lead to picking a new point, if the picking position is outside the survey area, the picking point is invalid. In the case that the picking point is available, use the mouse plus Ctrl (MB1+Ctrl) to snap the picking point to Inline/Crossline. In principle, the picking line is snapped to the line with a smaller included angle; double left-clicks to end picking; left-click with keeping “W” down would snap the picking point to well. If the picked traverse has intersected with wells, keeping “W” down would also snap the picking segment to well.


            Middle click: Middle-click on the point continuously would perform the multi- point deletion.


            Right click: Right-click to activate the content menu of traverse picking, and users can select other traverse types from the context menu and delete the original traverse, as shown in Figure 6.4-2.


          2. Pick traverse under 2D survey

            If the cursor moves by the line, the line would be highlighted in the defined color.

            Left click on the line to pick a new point, if the picking point is on a line intersecting that of the previous point, it will automatically snap to the intersection point. Middle-click on a point would delete it, which can be used successively to delete several picking points. Double left-click to end the picking. Right-click and a right-click menu of Pick Traverse will appear, as shown in Figure 6.4-2. The menu operation is the same as that of the 3D survey. if the picking point is not on the line, a warning window as Figure 6.4- 5 will appear;


          3. Pick traverse under a combined survey

          When picked points of the traverse are located in the area occupied with a single survey, the operation mode is the same as that for a single survey. If picked points of the traverse are located in the area occupied with the combined survey, the picking would occur in the topmost survey on the data

          tree. The topmost survey is also set the priority by users from the context menu. For example., if the picking is transferred from single survey A to combined survey B, it is required to set survey A prioritized, on purposing of combine survey picking.

Move the cursor in the basemap and it is found to be a hand-shape cursor at the fault polygon and cross cursor at the inflection points of fault polygons. Right-clicking brings out a context menu shown in Figure 6.8-9.

        Figure 6.8-9


        1. Pick New Fault Polygons


          As the default choice of editing fault polygons shown in figure 6.5-3, the pick item affords the following operations:

          1. Pick new fault polygons directly by left-click to pick one point, middle-click to return to the previous point, double-left-click to end the picking. It should be noticed that only the distance of endpoints from the first point is less than 10 Pixel, are the two points connected. The newly picked fault polygon is inactivated.

          2. In the course of picking( double-clicking has not occurred yet), right-clicking would bring out a context menu as Figure 6.8-10 which offers three methods to end ongoing operation: close, break or cancel picked points.


            Figure 6.8-10

            where

            Close Close the picked points and pick a new fault polygon.

            Break End picking with unclosed segments and pick new points if necessary.

            Cancel Delete the picked segments previous and pick new points if necessary.


        2. Edit Point


          1Select the fault polygon segments

          Users could select the fault polygon segments under the editing mode. Once the selected one or multiple segments are activated, the inflection points are displayed. If necessary, left or middle clicking to leave the activate mode. Users are empowered to select applicable segments through the following four ways:

          1. Single selection: Click on a segment by left-click at a time.

          2. Multiple selections by Ctrl: Keep Ctrl down and click at segments over and over.

          3. Multiple selections by Shift+Rectangle: Keep Shift down and drag a rectangle meanwhile, multiple segments are selected. Something does need attention here: if the rectangle is dragged from left to right, all segments involved with the rectangle would be activated; else in the other way, only segments trapped in the rectangle are active.

          4. Check all by Ctrl+A: Select all segments by pressing Ctrl and A on the keyboard at the same time.


          After the selection, right-click on the blank area will produce a function menu as shown in Figure 6.8-11, where users can switch other functions and the selected segments would leave the selection mode.

          Figure 6.8-11

          Delete Delete all selected segments

          Close Close unclosed segments among selected segments.

          Set Fault Polygon Type Set fault polygon type by its cascading menu

          including followed items:

          Normal Set selected segments to normal fault polygons.

          Reverse Set selected segments to reverse fault polygons.

          Change Level Change selected segment level.

          Set Fault Name Set the fault name as shown in Figure 6.8-13.


          Figure 6.8-13

          Where:

          Users can click a fault to rename or click the Undefined button to set the fault as an undefined one.


          2Edit points

          Users could perform followed operation on selected segments:

          Add point Left-click on a segment to add a point.

          Delete point Middle click on an inflection point of a segment to realize point deletion.

          Move point Left-click and drag an inflection point of a segment to realize point movement.

          Extend point Left-click on an endpoint of a segment to extend the point by picking points.


        3. Delete Line


          Lines can be deleted repeatedly until users select other functions. Move the mouse to select lines and left click on them, deletion operation would be produced.

        4. Delete Segment


          Segments can be deleted repeatedly until users select other functions from the function menu. Users have to activate segments by left-clicking on them before segment deletion.

          If the activated segment is unclosed, picking two points on the segment by left- clicking, the partial segment between two pints would be eliminated.

          Otherwise, two points are determined at the segment-first, and the third point is selected by the mouse. If the last point is located between the first two points, the partial segment limited by the first two points is cleared. In the case of the third point exceeded the two points, the partial segment outside of the first two points would be eliminated.


        5. Move Segment


          Segments can be moved repeatedly until users select other functions from the function menu. Keep the left button down and drag the segment, moving segment would happen when the mouse is released at the appropriate location.


        6. Copy a Segment


          Select a segment and left click on the target location, a duplication would be generated here and enter the pick mode meanwhile as long as the operation is performed once.


        7. Break a Segment


          Select a segment and its inflection points are therewith displayed. Left-clicking on an inflection point would result in the segment break gapped with a distance of 50 meters.

          Pick mode is in meanwhile, as long as the operation is performed once.


        8. Link


          It is capable of linking two segments together, except that a segment is closed and the other is unclosed. The linking of two-segment with the same type will work as follows:


          1Linking two unclosed segments

          Clicking on the first segment and the endpoint near the clicking position would be thickening. And then clicking on the second segment and the endpoint near the clicking position would be thickening too. Meanwhile, the two endpoints would be jointed together. Taking Figure 6.8-14 as an example, the endpoints 1 and 2 are connected as illustrated in Figure 6.8-15.

          2Linking two closed segments

          Left-clicking on the segments to activate them respectively, the two segments would automatically combine if these two segments are intersected, which is illustrated in Figure 6.8-16. Middle clicking on the segment allows users to discard the selected segment.


          Figure 6.8-16


        9. Set Downthrow Side


          Users can set downthrow side repeatedly until they select other functions from the function menu.

          1Set selected segment as downthrow side

          If the selected polygon is unclosed, use the mouse to select a node as a start point and another node as the endpoint, the segment between the two points is defined as downthrow side and displayed based on display parameter of the downthrow side.

          If the selected polygon is closed, use the mouse to select a node as a start point and another node as the endpoint, and then select the third point as the direction, the segment among the three points is defined as downthrow side, and

          displayed based on the display parameter of the downthrow side.

          2Set selected segment as upthrow side

          If the selected polygon is unclosed, left click to select a node as a start point and middle-click to select another node as the endpoint, the segment between the two points is defined as upthrow side and displayed based on display parameter of the upthrow side.

          If the selected polygon is closed, use the mouse to select a node as a start point and another node as the endpoint, and then middle click to select the third point as the direction, the segment among the three points is defined as upthrow side, and displayed based on display parameter of the upthrow side.

          After the definition is completed, return to the Pick mode.


        10. Set Level Parameter


          This function is achieved through the parameter dialog shown in Figure 6.8-17:

  7. GeoBasemap Communication

    1. Line Selection

      To switch the basemap to line selection mode, the Basemap must be started and the survey is displayed on it. When the basemap line selecting result is related to a section interpretation window (that is, the profile displayed in the section interpretation window is along the selected line), the Basemap will automatically clear the corresponding line if the section interpretation window is closed.

      Two modes exist for starting Basemap line selection:


      1. Starting Basemap Line Selection from Other Applications

        The basemap can accept requires being in line selection mode from other applications.


        1. Inline/Crossline Selection


          1Selection

          If the only 3D survey is present on the basemap, Inline/Crossline selection would be available to start the section interpretation window. Right-clicking pops up a context menu shown in Figure 7.1-1.


          Figure 7.1-1

          where

          Inline Selecting Inline items would offer access to inline selection mode. Move the mouse in the survey and click on it at the satisfying location to determine an inline line, the selected line would turn into red (or other color defined) and is sent to the application subsystem which is required to employ the selected line. In the case of wells displayed in the 3D survey, the well turns into another color while the mouse goes by the well location. It also offers a shortcut to quickly select the line intersecting with a well through keeping w down and left-click.

          Crossline Selecting items would offer access to Crossline selection mode. Move the mouse in the survey and click on it at the satisfying location to determine the line, the selected line would turn into red (or other color defined) and is sent to the application subsystem which is required to employ the selected line. In the case of wells displayed in the 3D survey, the well turns into another color while the mouse goes by the well location. It also offers a shortcut to quickly select the line intersecting with a well through keeping w down and left-click.

          Display It is only active under the condition of keeping Ctrl down to select several lines meanwhile. Once it is doable, operation with the item is capable of sending multiple lines simultaneously.

          Exit Exit the line selection mode.

          2Display the section along selected lines

          After Basemap start-up, the corresponding line along which any section(except for slices) in conventional interpretation is displayed is allowed to show on the basemap: the single section as a single line, the folded section as two intersecting lines (Inline, Crossline), and the multi-line section as all the lines included in it. The following edit options are available in basemap:

          1. Draglines: if the survey which contains the selected line has been activated and the user has exited the line selection mode, moving the cursor to select the desired line on the basemap changes the cursor to a hand shape. On left clicking, the line will thicken, indicating that the line has been selected. Click and hold the left button, the selected line will move with the cursor. Release the left button, the originally selected line will move to the position where the mouse is released, and the line will automatically be sent to the application system corresponding to the originally selected line. The line will be restored.

            Note: Users can only select one line related to a multiple-line section interpretation

            window to drag and meanwhile other lines in basemap would be removed with the drag operation.

          2. Switching line: Under no line-selection mode without active selecting icons in the toolbar, move the cursor to the selected line on the basemap and the cursor will become hand shape. Left-click to select the line and the line will be sent to the application window. Right-click to pop up the right-click menu shown in Figure 7.1-2, users can select lines again with it.


          Figure 7.1-2

          Where:

          Inline Select this option to enter the Inline selection state. After selecting the Inline line, send the currently selected line to the application window that made the line selection request, and the basemap will exit the line selection state

          Crossline Select this option to enter the Crossline selection status. After the Crossline line is selected, the currently selected line is sent to the application window that made the line selection request, and the basemap exits the Crossline selection state.

          Display Sent the selected multiple lines to the applicant. It is only selectable when pressing Ctrl to select multiple lines.

          Exit Exit the line selection mode.


        2. Selecting 2D survey Line


          When the 2D survey is displayed in the basemap, users can enter the 2DLine selection mode. The 2D line will become red or the other colors defined by the user when the cursor goes through it. Left-click to select the line, using Ctrl plus the left mouse button can select multiple 2D lines, and right-click to pop up a context menu, as shown in Figure 7.1-3.

          Display Sent the selected multiple lines to the applicant. It is only selectable when pressing Ctrl to select multiple lines.

          Exit Exit the line selection mode.


        3. Selecting Inline/Crossline or 2D Line


          When 2D survey and 3D survey co-exist on the basemap, either mouse location or the survey order is feasible of being a reference of line selection. The line would be highlighted and turn into red (or other defined color) once the moving mouse goes by the line. Multiple clicks with keeping Ctrl down result in selected multiple lines. Right-click brings out a context menu as shown in Figure 7.1-4.

          Figure 7.1-4

          where

          Inline/2D Line Selecting this item would offer access to the

          inline/2D line selection mode. After the operation, the selected line would be sent to the applicant meanwhile the basemap is going to leave the line selecting status. In the case of wells displayed in the current 3D survey, the well turns into another color while the mouse goes by the well location. It also offers a shortcut to quickly select the inline line intersecting with a well through keeping w down and left-click.

          Crossline/2D Line Selecting this item would offer access to

          Crossline/2D line selection mode. After the operation, the selected line would be sent to the applicant meanwhile the basemap is going to leave the crossline selecting status. In the case of wells displayed in the current 3D survey, the well turns into another color while the mouse goes by the well

          location. It also offers a shortcut to quickly select the inline line intersecting with a well through keeping w down and left-click.

          Display It is only active under the condition of keeping Ctrl down to select several lines meanwhile. Once it is doable, operation with the item is capable of sending multiple lines simultaneously.

          Exit Exit the line selection mode.


        4. Selecting Traverse


          Once another application selects the function icon for picking a traverse from the basemap, the basemap will enter the traverse-picking mode. Here are some hints:

          1. When a new traverse is picked, the current displayed traverse on the basemap is retained in green for now.

          2. In the process of traverse picking, the old traverse is reserved.

          3. New traverse will send to the corresponding applicaiton for displaying after finishing the traverse picking.

            • The old traverse would disappear as long as the display is performed and the new traverse would be kept.

            • In case of display failure, the old traverse would be kept with the original color and the new traverse would disappear.

          4. If the new traverse is saved first instead of sent to the applicant, it will replace the old green traverse.

          In the traverse picking mode, Right-clicking would bring out a context menu shown in Figure 7.1-5 empowering users to switch traverse types optionally.

          When there is a corresponding unnamed traverse path in the seismic interpretation window, then enter into the traverse picking mode from the interpretation window, the original path will be in green and the newly picked traverses are in red. In the right-click menu, select Cancel to cancel the red track and restore the green track.

          Select Display in the right-click menu, and send the traverse to the applicant Please refer to section 6.4.9 Select Traverse for details of picking traverses.

      2. Basemap Selecting Line Autonomously

        This function applies only to Inline/CrossLine/2Dline. Select the desired line type from the basemap toolbar, line selection mode is activated.

        Select a line and activate a section interpretation window, if a section

        interpretation window is already open (if not, start the conventional interpretation application).

      3. Traverse Scrolling Display

        A traverse scrolling display is available as the section interpretation window displays the profile along a traverse. Meanwhile, the traverse scrolling display would be refreshed on the basemap and be saved with the a series of names as UnNamedTra***” under the traverse node on the data tree.


    2. Basemap Cursor Communication

      Other applications could send the cursor position to the basemap application; the basemap receives and displays the position of the geodetic coordinate corresponding to the other application in the shape of the cross cursor.

    3. Horizon Communication

      Horizon communication in the basemap refers to communicating with the

      GeoSeismic subsystem.

      To perform horizon communication in the basemap, both the basemap and the section interpretation window must be opened, and the same horizon should be displayed in the basemap and the section interpretation window at the same time.

      Horizon communication in the basemap mainly includes the following cases: horizon picking display, horizon deleting, and saving, descriptions are as follows:

      1. Horizon Picking Display

        Pick horizon in the section interpretation window, and the achievement can be displayed in the basemap in real-time. And the horizon value range after the horizon is chosen is calculated in real-time, if the value range changes, the value range and colormap range in the parameter interface will be updated in the basemap.

      2. Horizon Deleting

        If the section interpretation window is in horizon interpretation mode, select Delete Part or Delete Lines from the right-click menu to delete horizons, and the horizons deleted from the section interpretation window will be removed from the basemap in real-time. And the horizon value range after the horizon is deleted is calculated in real-time, if the value range changes, the value range and colormap

        range in the parameter interface will be updated in the basemap.


      3. Horizon Saving

        After the deleting operations of the horizon area or of the horizon inside the fault polygon are performed in the basemap, select save To DB from the right- click menu to save them to the database, the horizon deleted from the basemap will be also deleted from the section interpretation window.

    4. Fault Communication

      Fault communication in the basemap refers to communicating with the

      GeoSeismic subsystem.

      To perform horizon communication in the basemap, both the basemap and the section interpretation window must be opened, and the same fault should be displayed in the basemap and the section interpretation window at the same time.

      Fault communication in the basemap mainly includes the following cases: fault picking display, fault deleting and saving, and descriptions are as follows:

      1. Fault Picking Display

        Pick faults in the section interpretation window of GeoSeismic subsystem, and the picking results can be displayed in the basemap in real-time.

      2. Fault Deleting

Appendix: FAQ

  1. How to start the basemap with data conveniently?

    A: Users can start the basemap conveniently through the application toolbox in the main console.

    In this starting mode, usually select a type of display data from the Data Explorer Tree of the main console. If a survey is selected, for example, click on the basemap icon in the toolbox, the basemap window will pop up and display this survey.

  2. When a new layer is added, the basemap display range becomes extremely wide sometimes and no display content can be seen, why?

    A: it is caused by the great differences in the value range between the new data and the original data. It is most possible that the new data is far away from the original data or on a different scale to the original data.

  3. The Properties…item in the context menu is inactive after a data name is selected from the basemap Data Explorer Tree, why?

    A: The layer node must be activated first.


  4. How does the basemap enter the traverse picking mode?

    A: 1) Select the Picking a Traverse from the Basemap item from the section interpretation window.

    1. From the menubar: Select->Traverse.


  5. How to enter the communication mode of traverse?

    A: Select Picking a Traverse from the Basemap item from the sectionn interpretation window, the basemap will enter the communication mode of traverse.

  6. How to enter the editing mode of an existed fault polygon?

    A: Three cases are available:

    1. If the fault polygon is displayed in the basemap work area, the fault polygon must have been present as a node on the Data Explorer Tree. Left-click on the node or right-click for selecting Activate/Edit item to activate the fault polygon and enter the editing mode meanwhile.


    2. If the fault polygon is not displayed, right click on the fault polygon node of the Data Explorer Tree to select Layer Display, a dialog pops up, select the desired fault polygon to display in the work area, and enter the editing mode meanwhile.

    3. Right-click on the Fault Polygon node on the data tree and select Manager

      from the context menu, or select menu Fault Polygons- Manager, a dialog

      pops up offering the fault polygon selection and entering editing mode meanwhile.


  7. How to activate a horizon (horizon deleting button)?

    A: Two methods are available as follows:

    1. If the horizon is displayed in the basemap work area, the horizon must have been present as a node on the Data Explorer Tree. Left click on the node, or right click to select Activate to activate the horizon.

    2. If the horizon is absent, display the horizon in the basemap, the horizon will be in its active mode.


  8. How to delete the horizon of areas?

    A: Activate the horizon, and select Edit from the context of the horizon on the Data Explorer Tree, now users can delete horizon of areas.

  9. Why does the Save item in the context menu of horizon sometimes disappear?

    A: The Save item will appear by right-clicking only after the deleting operation is performed on a horizon.

  10. How to realize horizon communication?

    A: Two kinds of horizon communication are available:

    1. Communication with the basemap in real-time during conventional horizon picking.

      Start the conventional interpretation and the basemap from the main console. When picking horizon or deleting horizon in the section interpretation window, the modified horizon will be displayed in the basemap in real-time.

    2. Communication in real-time with the basemap or other subsystems can be

      realized when the system performs horizon deletion in the basemap.

      After starting the basemap and the specific communication subsystem, delete horizon in the basemap, and then click on “Save” in the right-click menu, the specific communication subsystem would reflect the changes of the deleted horizon in real-time.

  11. After “Project Extents” is selected during modification to the “Define Border” parameters dialog, the basemap canvas becomes extremely wide sometimes and no data can be seen, why?

    A: Maybe the surveys under this project are far away from each other.


  12. How to display fault points in the basemap?

    A: Right click on a horizon node on the Data Explorer Tree, and select Properties to pop up a parameter dialog, users could select Fault Point and click on OK or Apply to display fault point.


  13. The horizons picked on the section can’t be seen from the basemap sometimes during horizon communication, why? How to display it in the basemap?

    A: The picked horizons will be usually displayed in real-time in the basemap work area during horizon picking on the section; if not, the following problems may exist:

    1. The horizon has not been opened in the basemap. Activate the horizon in the basemap to display the horizon picked on the section in real-time;

    2. The horizon picked on the section has already been displayed in the basemap in real-time, but it is blocked by the survey line, so users get the wrong sense that the horizon is not displayed. Right click on the project to select Layer Order to activate a dialog from which users can select Next and Previous to adjust Horizons over Survey, then the picked horizon can be seen in the basemap. If the horizon color is similar to the survey line color, the survey can be unchecked, then the displayed horizon can been seen more clearly

  14. Sometimes the border of the basemap is large and the displayed content in the border is quite a small size, why?

    A: Border display may contain activated layer range and project range. If the project range (union set of ranges of all surveys under the project) is selected, usually it is different from a specific survey/layer range, therefore, the displayed content in the border may be of small size compared with the whole project. Right-click on the project name to select Define Border to activate a dialog in which users can change the display range to active layer range, and then the border size equals the range of the currently active layer range.

  15. Can users display the desired horizon in the basemap work area during basemap start-up?

    A: Select the desired horizon from the data tree of the main console as the display data, and then click on the basemap icon in the toolbox to pop up the basemap window and display the horizon.


  16. What is Activate Layer?

    A: Users can perform related function operations on layers. After Activate Layer is selected, nothing happens in the basemap canvas, but the activated right-click menu in the basemap work area lists doable operations on the layer.

  17. How to activate a layer?

    Two methods are followed to activate a layer.

    A: 1) On the Data Explorer Tree, left click on the layer to be activated, the layer would be activated.

    2) On the Data Explorer Tree, right-click on the layer to be activated to pop up the context menu from which users can select Activate Layer option to activate the layer.

  18. How to open one or multiple surveys?

    A: Two methods are followed to open surveys.

    1. Users can select a survey from the data tree of the main console, and then click on the basemap button to open a new basemap with this survey.

    2. After starting the basemap, select the Survey node of the Data Explorer Tree, right click to select Layer Manager Item to display the Layer Manager Dialog window. Select one or multiple surveys from the list to move it /them to the Selected list, and then click on OK.

  19. How to close one or multiple surveys?

    A: Two methods are followed to delete surveys.

    1. On the basemap Data Explorer Tree, select the survey to be closed, and right-click to pop up a menu from which users can select Remove to remove the current survey.

    2. After starting the basemap, select the Survey node of the Data Explorer Tree, right click to select Layer Manager Item to display the Layer Manager Dialog window. Select one or multiple surveys to move it/them to the Available list, and then click on OK to remove these surveys.


  20. In the case of opening more than one survey, why sometimes the operation such as line selection does not select the desired survey?

    At this time, we need to check whether the survey is activated, that is, whether the survey is selected on the Data Explorer Tree, and only when it is activated, all operations correspond to the survey.


  21. How to display the points on the survey?

    A: Open the attribute window corresponding to the survey, and users can select point display.

  22. If no point or line is displayed, can users select the point or line of this type?

    A: No. Users can enter the point selecting mode or line selecting mode, but no point or line can be selected.

  23. How to remove wells?

    A: Select the Well node of the Data Explorer Tree, right click to select Layer Display to open the Layer Display Dialog. Users could select one or multiple wells to be closed from the Selected list to put it /them back to the Available list, and then click OK.

  24. Can users open the well from the data Explorer tree of the main console?

    A: No. Users can open the basemap from the selected well node, but can’t open the well.

  25. What does the reserved status save?

    A: It contains the current zoom ratio, the current position of the slide bar, the content and display order of the current Data Explorer Tree, the currently displayed layer and its display parameters, the current activated layer and its display parameters, the current boundary parameters, the current Canvas display parameters.

  26. What should users pay attention to during communication?

    A: 1) The current information of the basemap is the last received information during communication, Including the recorded current machine, application, and layer communicating with it. Only the layer can send information to the recorded application.

    2) The layer receiving the communication will not be activated automatically.


  27. Tips of applying horizon area-deleting/data deleting inside the fault polygons?

    A: After horizon auto track or interpolation is completed, users may find that the horizon data appears in an improper position, in this case, the above function can be used to manually satisfy users.

  28. No fault polygon appears in the popped-up dialog when the horizon inside the fault polygon is to be deleted, why?

    A: Only the fault polygons on the Data Explorer Tree are listed in the popped up dialog. If no fault polygon is present on the Data Explorer Tree, the popped up dialog will be empty when users attempt to delete the horizon inside the fault polygon.

  29. The horizon changing information can’t be received by the section after the deleting operations of the horizon area are performed in the basemap, why?

    A: Information will not be sent after the horizon is deleted before the Save item is selected.

  30. How to perform horizon interpolation?

    A: 1. After selecting Operation from the Horizons menu to pop up the Functions List dialog from which users can select Horizon Interpolation and then click on Apply.

    1. After setting Input Horizon and Output Horizon in the popped up dialog, select From Basemap under Area Extent, and then click on OK or Apply to activate a message prompting dialog to prompt users to pick polygon.

    2. In the basemap work area, left click to pick polygon, and double left clicks to end the picking and send polygon information.

    3. After the polygon information is received by the Operation process, the horizon interpolation can be finished.

  31. How to define well set?

    A: Select Define Well Set from the Well menu, click the Start button in the Define Well Set window, the basemap enters the picking mode. After wells are picked, select Send from the context menu, and the picked wells will be added to the Define Well Set window.

  32. How to realize that different layers share a color map?

    A: Select the display parameters of different layers and set the color map to Globe.


  33. How to display a horizon using the full color map?

    A: Modify the horizon display parameter to uncheck the Globe item.


  34. Sometimes no line increment is displayed for Inline or Crossline in 3D survey, why?

    A: This case appears when the original increment of the 3D survey is not 1, for example, surveys are as follows: the start line number of Inline is 540, the end line number 847, and the increment 20; the start line number of Crossline is 427, the end line number 931, and the increment 20. Open the survey for display according to the display parameter, Reference is 0, and the display increment

    100. The opened survey is shown in the following Figure.


    Here, as shown in the figure, no increment is displayed for Crossline, The reason is that the start line number of the survey is 427, and the increment is 20. Values are only available for lines with the line numbers of 447, 467, 487…, if calculation is based on that Reference is 0 and the display increment 100

    (Reference + Increment * n), lines with numbers of 100, 200, 300…600… should be displayed. However, no corresponding Crosslines are available for these lines, therefore, no increment is displayed. To display the increment, users can modify the value of Reference. For example, the value is modified to 27 and the display increment remains 100 (Reference+Increment*n), lines with line numbers of 427 527 627…will be displayed as shown in the following Figure:


  35. Some lines can’t be listed during intersection mistie calculation, why?

    A: If seismic data is absent on the line, intersection mistie calculation can’t be performed. Therefore, only the lines containing seismic data will be listed.

  36. How to enter fault assigning mode?

    A: Activate the fault, and then select Assign Faults from the context menu of the horizon of the Data Explorer Tree.

  37. How to enter the auto track fault polygon mode?

    A: Activate the fault, and then select Auto Track Fault Polygon from the context menu of the horizon of the Data Explorer Tree.

  38. How to save the results of fault assigned to the database?

    A: The results of fault assignment are saved to the database automatically, and need not be saved manually.

  39. Why sometimes the wells sent by the basin management system to the basemap cannot be displayed?

    A: The communication function of the well can be activated only after the basemap has been loaded first.

  40. Why does the fracture data saved in the fault element dialog appear empty in the drawing?

A: When saving, you need to ensure that the Interval column not just has Auto data.
